Mini LED TV PERFECTION? Hisense U8K review

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Would you buy mini-LED over OLED? What would be the deciding factor?

[@birdtj82]

The technology. I will PICK a 120hz, VA, high local dimming MINI LED, thats NOT RGB OLED Panel(funny color blending )-under whelming , Dim n Black crushing. Paying $$$$ to be -part of OLED club to feel better applies to ppl but not me :) I’d buy Samsung/ Hisense/ SHARP Aquos XLED) n i feel happy. :) It’s BIG win. :)

[@Burn_In_Oled_On_Purpose]

4k mini led display with the brightest and the most color saturated display with the most color saturated setting with hdr enabled. I have the display on manual brightness maxed out on 100% with autobrightness turned off, power savings turned off, with local dimming turned off it's available as an option otherwise the lowest dimming settings possible with the backlight as bright as possible to make the display as bright as possible. I don't want any part of the screen to be dim at all while making the display too bright. I'm used to very bright displays. It there was an option to choose how many nits on the TV, I would choose 4,000 nits since there are movies recorded with 4,000 nits plus I can turn down the brightness if necessary. Every device that I use with a display, I max out the screen brightness since I don't use dark mode, autobrightness turned off, power savings turned off, screen saver turned off, backlight as bright as possible. These brightness display settings I use are the same way when I use my phone. However, every display that I use with an oled display already have burn in issues so that's why I choose mini led since there are no burn in issues with mini led since I need the max brightness possible. Until there will be micro led displays than the display settings will all be the same with every device that I use with a display whether they are oled or not oled. I wish smartphones have mini led displays until micro led displays become available in the future. I wish samsung still had an option for a curve 4k tv. Ever since I started using a 4k curve tv from samsung since 2014, I love using the curve display and it made me never want to go back to a flat display. My first 55 inch 4k tv was from samsung back in 2014 that had a curve display. The 4k tv back in 2014 did not have hdr since hdr did not exist and it was using an older hdmi 1.4. The 2014 tv from samsung was using a very old version of tizen and to navigate the menu was like using the nintendo wii remote on the TV which it uses air motions to navigate the menus. The 2014 tv was very slow and it required a usb dongle to use wifi since the wifi won't work without the wifi dongle. I upgraded to the 65 inch 2017 samsung curve qled 4k tv with hdr and hdmi 2.0 with the samsung one connect box with the upgraded version of tizen. It was a huge upgrade and I even upgraded my 2017 qled 4k tv to its latest software version and there are no ads on my tv. The only thing that I liked about the 2014 tv from samsung is that it included game fly as the gaming service even though I never use game fly.

Lol how can you decide that? Even if his camera would be able to capture the TV 100%, you're still just experiencing your own monitor. Lol 😆

[@nrnoble]

What I appreciate the most is you are upfront about getting the TV for free. One of my biggest issues with YT channels is getting free products and not disclosing that they getting the product for free and then proceed to rave about the product as if they actually bought it, when in fact they want to keep the free products flowing to them as their #1 objective, thus the reviews are really product demos, not reviews.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Appreciate the kind words. The only thing I’d say is that content creators who treat their channels as businesses (as I do) won’t be doing it to receive free stuff (trust me - you can have too many TVs and smartphones!). I can’t speak for everyone, obviously, but it’s important to make that distinction 😉

[@nrnoble]

@@MarkEllisReviews Thanks for the background info. Can you speak to the ability to sell those free those products or giving them to friends elatives? I personally don't have a problem with anyone be sent free products, my issue is the lack of discloser with some channels especially when a YT channel is labeling a video as a review and presenting it as an unbiased opinion that raves about it (ie Just the good points). I am savvy enough to determine if it is a review or is a demo, but people coming to YT only occasionally seeking good\balanced information are unlikely to detect the difference.

Have you been able to correct for the 6500k backlight preventing a dim image from actually looking warm instead of purple? The intense blue of the backlight can't help but corrupt the color at low light. Additionally, found any way to have color correction actually affect the interface? Video can look great, but then when it's over, you're kicked back to the crazy bright and blue tinged UI.

[@ryanbaker7404]

2022 and 2023 have been some of the best years for us AV Nerds (TM) in a long time. We've literally had something for everyone the past 2 years: peak WOLED via LG's MLA; 2nd generation QD-OLED; and miniLED! There's something for PC enthusiasts, gaming console enthusiasts, and purists who crave filmlike accuracy. And the prices, at least in the US, have been some of the best bang for the buck, ever. I'm 46, so I am old enough to have grown up with VHS and NTSC broadcast TV. Kids today have no idea just how good their display technology is! This also means I'm old enough to call seeing LG demo its first WOLED (this is the term commonly used for WRGB panels with the white subpixel) at 1080p, and a 55" version could run into the five figures early on. I think this fall will be when the wife and I finally upgrade from a lower mid range LED to either a miniLED or an LG C3 series WOLED.

[@birdtj82]

I am on same boat. U wanna check out d Japanese--Aquos XLED before the C3. I will not d C3, on d rtings.come u re welcome to check the “color volume” test on all the d premium TVs last a few list. The C3 color volume(which dictates Vibrancy, rich color on high brightness) is very low at like rated maybe 7.8/10 something like that . Like 40th place. Like Qm8 sits at highest (tested) at 9.0 align with QD-OLED. --U8K has not be tested so its missing on the chart but expect to match up. Even last yr u8H , also Samsung 2021 QN90A both at 8.9 at richness of color. OLEDS like C1, C2 all 7.9 something. N its insane. Even their G2 , only got 8.1/10. The COLOR n emersive vibrancy butter glossy warm rich tone. Those OLEDs just do NOT have. U better get QD-OLED if aiming at C3. 😊 so dim like 800ish nit. Peak. So not worth it. Losing peak brighnesss losing color volume, n losing on budget. 😅

[@wakeupcall2665]

For future reference. Those TV transport boxes come with latches at the bottom. So you just open the top, get the remote control, stand/feet out, release the latches at the bottom and you lift the box up. And keep the box somewhere in the basement, for later. You’ll be happy you did!

Hi Mark great review. However, I had the 65" u8kq for 3 weeks, but then I noticed that the backlight did not stay at 100. Sometimes when I switched the channel, the backlight switched back to 50. In the settings the backlight value was still at 100, but I was able see with my own eyes that the brightness had dropped dramatically and seemed to be back to backlight of 50. When I then went down with the backlight value by just one, so to 99, the screen became immediately bright again as it should be at 99. And after switching channels it happened again and again that the tv did not "save" the selected backlight value of 100 . Mark please tell me if your U8K also has a problem with having backlight on 100...? Maybe I only had a defected panel... I already returned my u8kq because of this backlight issue... But I am wondering if I should buy it again because I maybe was just unlucky....?

[@Tphive]

My guess would be that the channel you're switching to is HDR or Dolby Vision and the TV is detecting that content, adjusting accordingly. I might be wrong, but that could be what's happening.

On the Rtings website they too mentioned the buggyness of the U.S version of the U8K (values resetting etc) which is a shame as it looks like a great TV. It's still hard to find information on the 75 inch version though. Of all the sizes they make of the U8K the 75 inch is the only model to have a different screen, it is "IPS-ADS Pro" panel where all other models are VA panels.

I like your mindset re tests because unless you are an absolute picture purest you are not going to notice these things. For me the main draw is 120hz for the PS5 as my ideal tv an LG C3 is too expensive.

[@ABEAZYdaRonin94]

If that version of the U8K was in the US i would get it tomorrow. I like the build quality and remote better then the US model.

[@birdtj82]

The US models still look nice tho. :) :) the images look like $3000. Its strange. I felt like using a $3000 product, then realize i paid like half price for it.

[@Thefilmyfamily786]

I got the u7k just a little less brighter than u8k but an exceptional tv. Bang for the buck

[@ajmunn1229]

The only downside I have is arc with switch audio doesn't work well, cuts out.

[@gregb8440]

I just bought the u8k 65" last week. Our stand doesn't look that. The feet are closer to the ends of the tv, and the remote looks like a roku remote. Nothing like what's shown in this video.

[@birdtj82]

U have d US MODEL. The US model remote is cuter. Cuz it holds in the Palm much cozier. Also it stands UP Right on coffee table, so it wont like clog space. Cuz its so annoying. I stuck Air tag on the bottom of it , so i can find it if it goes “missing” It’s d same panel, just EU models are aiming for Family n professionals (cuz EU ppl tend to be more stylish). US consumers for Tv, they are aiming at Gammers market who do NOT want those “fancy looking” things they want things minimal .

[@gregb8440]

@birdtj82 Makes total sense. After I watched your video I looked at the site to make sure I got the right TV lol.

[@birdtj82]

Do u like the speakers? I cant go with other brand for a while now, after my 65” Hisense. Lol its just diff experience, better speaker. They sound like home sound system.

So this is actually the U8KQ which is only available in europe, the main difference is that this is on a stand instead of legs.

[@andriandri732]

It's available in Africa and Australia too .

Does this TV have a headphone jack?

[@bucclao209]

Idk 🤷‍♂️ with all the hype about the U8k but the 100” one I bought was not anything like what everyone review…… it had so much issues and picture quality was ok. I commented on the reviews on other peoples reviews they told me that I will come across that problem, but I didn’t believe them …. Now o regret buying the hisense U8k 100” so I had to replace it back with the tcl 98” was not so much different from mini led hisense vs the direct lit LED from tcl 98”….. I think the smaller sizes on the U8k would probably be better because no one had reviewed the 100” yet… So i bought the 100” and was very disappointed…. It was not so great in all ways

[@ДмитрийКузнецов-п8ч]

Is it better than Samsung QN90B? Price is the same

Absolutely U8K, it looks LESS of MINI LED, but more similar to QD-OLED visual. (In person) 😊

This VS Sony Bravia x85k?

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

Absolutely SKIP SoNY X85K. ITS so bad. I have seen it in store it has very BAD blooming. I think its--Direct LED. It’s like the LOWEST TECH of LED like Rock bottom tech LED. SONY use its monoply n prestige to sell thoes UHD in 2x to 3X price. Blooming n bad color, bad contrast. I m trying to help u cuz i went to store checked for 3 yrs . SONY anything below flagship is dramatic down grade, by the time it goest to 3rd tier, u are NOT getting SONY QUALITY.

Hi mate, this was first video from your channel that I have watched, and its great. I really appreciate good screen uniformity and its a deciding factor for me when I'm buying a new TV. I already have OLED Sony A80J and its great, but now I need one more 65" for my gaming room and I'm looking at something cheaper. 65U8K is in that price range. I will be playing Fifa (EAFC) and watch football on it (50%-50%). You have said that there is no DSE on your set, and that we better not look for it. I agree, once you see it you cant unsee it, but on that football green screen panning left-right you don't need to look for it, you cant miss it. So, what's the situation with DSE while playing Fifa? Do you see any? Tnx mate.

[@markchristantaguiam819]

The perfect OLED answer would be the LG C3 55 inch. Same price as the U8K 65 inch.

[@birdtj82]

65” U8K. There is capacity watching in size. I made my mistake buying Hisense 55”. LOVING 🥰 it so much, Had to next yr DOUBLE my budget get 65”. Lol end up spending more. LG C3 has peak like 817-860nit-PEAK U8K has like 2000nit( tested), on box 1500-Peak. The REspectful HIghlight is going to be so POP on U8K, to have MORE 3D visual - Dark scenes, sunset Thoes highlight creat a (visual of distance ) with BEST transitions. The OLED ppl can’t understand they turn their heads away Fixated on a ONCE elite but now is underwhelming tech. OLED so dim, lack of transition shades, so they look way MORE 2D than U8K 3D. 😊 If i dont buy U8K, i am getting Samsung QD-OLED. I will SKIP LG C3. I have gone to store check C9 CX C1 C2…they are JUST not that HOT. :) 😊

[@birdtj82]

@@markchristantaguiam819 INSANE. Oh PS. First of all I saw the U8K 75” n hand tweaked in store with remote. Set to like standard/ or theatre mode i forgot which one. But had brightness down to 70% n “black level” down 30% (it is set at 0, which is confusing) , cuz d BAR of blackness is. (-10 to 10+), it needs to go down from “0” (out of box) down to - 3, BOOM OLED BLACK !!!!! That’s why in 100% KZbin reviews. As soon as they give u like 🦧:”here is what looks Ike OUT OF BOX, Tada!” Game over u now its bullshit. N it does NOT look like that. Only takes 3 seconds, okay maybe 5(if my fingers click slow) to make it utter close /identical to QD-OLED. Do NOT take online reviews seriously. Maybe d Quatum TV KZbinr he’s good. Cuz his videos 3 yrs in a row match the TV that I bought n seen at home.

@@markchristantaguiam819 Also C1 C2 C3 is like iPhone ---6, 7 ,8, X XS Peak brightness (620-800) , U8K is equivalent to iPhone 14-PRO. N peak Upcoming iPhone -15PRO. So if u use iPhone 6 7 8 X, stand along from crappier phone, u will be like “yeah so nice< elegant, premium, it gets dim in the sun or lighted room but its manageable “ . Once u use IPHONE 12pro (thats peak like 1200nit something) i had that one, n use 14-PRO (i think 1600nit or something) , showing u 6 7 8 X XS, u d be like :”YUUUUUUUUK , NO !

Imagine someone sells that Dim phone like :”this is PREMIUM 550nit, peak 800nit , u get good deal for $1500” ppl use iPhone 12 Pro or 14PRO will be like :”WHAT D HELL, agreesive marketing, it’s NOT premium. It’s PREMIUM like 8 yrs ago. Still good, but not worth like $1500 duah!”. Yeah LOOK UP ,,,,ratings site--TV color Volume chart. It list all the top TVs with highest color volum. D ONLY TVs at 9/10 were all QD-OLED. (Peak brightness 🔆 yet rich vibrant color). D ONLY MINI LED were at 9/10 were U8K, Qm8 and Samsung QN90B/QN95B i think 1 of 2. C1 C2 C3, are all pathetic like 7.8/10. That means even its already dim. All bright colors all look pestle 🦧 flat. In business school. They teach us --PUT heavy attention on good stuff n “oops, i forget about mention the critical bad things” to spike a feeling of “up the value” or Sells d image of “its good for u” to close d DEAL. Once ppl believe its PREMIUM technology , u no longer need to do the selling. Ppl will buy anyway. Of course their demo , some “vivid something” with black background on vivid mode or something will enticing yr eyes, but honestly it’s VERY underwhelming when u turn on a KZbin having beach 🏖️, forest , lots ocean, grass lands ….u get way MORE dark gooey soup look in store, or mid bright day, not even sunny day. N the like if u watch KZbin, most scenes are bright days, influencers etc , it will just look more flat. The stores will keep selling “ oh it looks in d dark, its best, its this that”its just marketing, cuz it pushes OLED panel out of store in 2X 3X price when they do NOT look that impressive at home
